How to make the Java to call a String from a XML file(In Android Studio)

Question

I have this code and I will like to make it multi language app. What I want is to use the Strings from the Strings.xml file. How can i change "Colombian Peso" to String.

        placeHolderData.add(new ExchangeListData("COP","Colombian Peso",R.drawable.colombia,time,"1"));

Answer 1

String string = getString(R.string.hello); // change hello to the right identifier
// then use it in your call
placeHolderData.add(new ExchangeListData("COP", string, R.drawable.colombia, time, "1"));

You can always change the R.string.hello identifier to the right language, ie R.string.es_peso , based on the user locale, etc.

Answer 2

Try this

String string = getResources().getString(R.string.hello);

Or

String string = getString(R.string.hello);

to get String from String.xml & add it to your desirable place

placeHolderData.add(new ExchangeListData("COP",string,R.drawable.colombia,time,"1"));
